Spare & Duplicate Car Keys in Brisbane
The cheapest car key you'll ever buy is the spare you cut before you need it. Replacing a single remaining key is a far bigger job — and a far bigger bill — than duplicating a working one, because a lost-only-key situation often means re-coding the immobiliser from scratch. Keymate cuts and programs spare and duplicate keys on-site across Brisbane, while you have a coffee in your own driveway. It's the smart move for two-driver households, new-car owners handed a single key, teenagers' first cars, and businesses running vehicle fleets that can't afford downtime.
- Duplicating a working key is far cheaper than a lost-only-key job
- Cut and programmed on-site while you wait
- Ideal for families, first-car teens and vehicle fleets
- Most makes and models — transponder, remote and smart keys

How it works
What to expect when you call
Bring us the working key
For a spare, having one working key makes the job quick and cost-effective. Tell us the make, model and year so we bring the right blank and programmer.
We come to you
No trip to a dealer or shopfront — we cut and program the spare in your driveway, car park or workplace anywhere in Greater Brisbane.
Cut, program and test
We cut the duplicate to your car's code and program the chip or smart key to the immobiliser, then test both keys start and lock the car reliably.
Two keys, peace of mind
You leave with a working spare — and the knowledge that if one is lost, you're not facing an emergency all-keys-lost job. Free quote before we start.

Spare & Duplicate Keys — what customers say
“Only had one key when I bought the car, so I got a spare cut and programmed in the driveway while I had a coffee. Cheaper than the dealership and so much easier. Should have done it years ago.”
“Got a second key cut and programmed before we ever needed it. Ten minutes, tested both, done. Much cheaper than scrambling in an emergency later.”
“Wanted a backup key for the family car so we're never caught out. Cut and programmed while I waited, both keys tested. Easy peace of mind.”
